Nudie Jeans

Model: Terry Dry Indigo Jacket $215 We’re not obsessed with the Nudie name, but it’s Swedish and certainly a step up from Ikea’s unhealthy appetite for umlauts. This jean jacket comes with the crisp, clean lines that have come to define Scandinavian style — perfect for a denim look that’s a little more dressed up. Buy it here

All Saints Spitalfields

Model: Duane Jacket $140 Spitalfields, Jack The Ripper’s infamous stomping ground, is apt for a British brand that offers slashed-up style reminiscent of the Industrial Revolution. The color is a bluish-green indigo, the collar is corduroy, and the shanks are rusted. If that all translates into fit and quality this good (and it does), sign us up for the next chimney sweep.

Levi’s

Model: Skinny 511 Jeans (Rigid Dragon) $44 How could we ever forgot about the first name in denim? Fortunately, Levi's's skinny silhouette isn’t so skinny — it’s just right. And, as always, the dark wash makes them look far richer than the ridiculously cheap price it would have you believe. Buy it here

Acne

Model: Max Raw $269 Acne offers another option in the way of Swedish streetwear. The raw, over-dyed denim is second to none, and construction with three-needle stitching is top-notch. As for cut, it’s slim to say the least. If straight-cut jeans are for you, then you’d be hard-pressed to find a better fit anywhere else. Buy it here

Monitaly

Model: Triple Needle Chambray Shirt $185 Nevermind that Monitaly is from Hermosa Beach, California, and manufactures some pretty un-beachy winter gear. This chambray shirt comes in the ideal blue — not too light, not too dark. And, coincidentally, it’s the ideal pairing for the dark denim we just plugged. Buy it here

J.Crew

Model: Hill-Side Chambray Tie $83 In defense of an $83 tie from J.Crew, we would like to say that it’s (1) made in the USA and, (2) crafted from Japanese cotton — widely recognized as some of the best anywhere in the world. The tie is also lined in selvedge muslin and clocks in at a trim two inches. Point being, you’d actually pay far more for a tie like this if it weren’t from J.Crew. Buy it here
